Hi,

I want my .ps file looks like this:

Point1
The content here are
Indented.
Another paragraph, still Indented.
May be a table here, still Indented.
Point2
More Indented
content.

How can I do this? Thanks

\sectionfont{\hspace{-1cm}}
\parindent0pt
\begin{document}
\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}
\section{first}
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah
\section{second}
blah
blah
\end{document}

You might try the itemize environment, although you'll want empty labels (use \item[]).

Thanks, Matthew. Following your direction, I found that the description environment is more suitable for my situation. Just that I can't figure out how to make the descriptions not following my points (\newline is illegal)…

\begin{description}
\item [Point1] \newline
The content here are
Indented.
Another paragraph, still Indented.
May be a table here, still Indented.
\end{description}

Use \item [Point1] ~\newline
